However, Shelford hit back heading home from a free-kick.
The visitors started the second half well and Chishill keeper Ian Gallagher had to be at his best, tipping one powerful volley over the bar.
As the half wore on, it looked as if Chishill would hold on, but another gifted free header sent the game to extra time.
In a closely contested 30 minutes, the lottery of a penalty shootout loomed, however, Shelford snatched a late winner bundling the ball home following another set-piece.
Great Chishill: Gallagher; R Drury, Gardiner, Lombari, Wilson; Radford, Saward, E Drury, J Drury, Williams; McGee. (Subs): Hodge, Rolfe, Gibson.
